Bronze tubing and pressure

[Scythian]

Dear all,

As some of you know, i'm currently doing a small thesis on Greek Fire (Yes I know it is Byzantine warfare). My question: How much pressure could bronze tubes and cauldrons take? Ie, could liquids inside be pressurized and to what extent before the entire thing pops? Just to be safe i've put it here, with engineering.

Many thanks,

Regards,

Hans

I think the best place to look for the information you are looking for is at fire engines. As examples of liquids being projected under pressure, those are the best documented and best developed examples you are ever likely to find.
